Reading is solitary; the conversation about reading is one of the most reliable ways to feel close to someone. Hottub book groups meet at libraries, bookstores, coffee shops, and parks for a mix of book-club discussions, silent reading hours, and author events.
Some groups care, some don't. Most label themselves — "completionist," "no spoilers," or "show up regardless" — in the meetup description.
Yes, and they're among the most reliable. Show up, read for an hour, swap notes for fifteen minutes, leave. Low pressure, high return.
Our team creates Hottubs — tell us what's worth gathering around near you and we review every suggestion.
